This is and was one of the best written and great character development on TV in the last 10 years. Raylon came a long way from the 1st episode to the final. Boyd Crowder (Walter Coggins) is one of the best and funniest villains with a huge vocabulary! Very entertaining, I've watched the show when it was running each Tuesday night, and bought the complete series. I've watched the show from beginning to end at least 6 times and I'm just about ready to watch it again. Very good casting, enjoyed all the co-stars and their role portrayal.

Stellar cast, great dialogue and a plot that slowly builds throughout each season, Justified is a show that for some reason has yet to get it's due. After 4 stellar seasons (and a 5th that was just "good"), I'm looking forward to the conclusion of two of my favorite TV characters stories, Raylan & Boyd. If you aren't in to cop shows, you'll find yourself pulled in by the interesting characters and their crackling dialogue.

Sharp, funny writing make this modern day western a must see show in an era of abundant choices. Though it is perennially overlooked at awards time JUSTIFIED features a superb cast headed by Timothy Olyphant and Walton Goggins as Kentucky coal men who grew up together but are now on opposite sides of the law. Like the Elmore Leonard stories that inspired it JUSTIFIED has well defined characters whose dialogue is natural and believable.
